Paradox Thyme - where there is always time for food, laughter and friendship. C'mon over, there's something good cooking, so do yourself a flavor!

Sandy Courneen
Hi, I’m Sandy Courneen and I've attended cooking classes like these for over 30 years. Add to that my years as a private caterer and now a retired school teacher, and you have someone who is eager to share what she has learned with others. I love cooking for friends, and making new ones over a good meal.

Paradox Thyme, created in May 2017, offers residents and vacationers a unique dining opportunity through cooking classes that are affordable and informative. Customers enjoy a relaxed home atmosphere where conversation, laughter and learning how to prepare each item on the menu is fun.
The home itself, is an Adirondack gem, dating from the early 1930s. It was originally a granary placed on runners during the winter and moved downhill to its present spot overlooking Paragon Brook, Paradox Creek, and Hoffman Mountain. Located in the quaint hamlet of Paradox, NY at the corner of Route 74 and Letsonville Rd, the home abounds with history and beautiful gardens.

Terry Courneen
Hello, I am Sandy's other half, and have been her loyal supporter for over 30 years. A retired contractor, I settled in to Paradox living with thoughts of fishing and outdoor life at its best in the Adirondacks. I also love cooking and entertaining, good wine, good music and sharing time with friends.
